Re: Happy Kick-*** Wednesday
#2 was definitely better than #1.
To show the real consequences of his actions and inexperience, and then, true to teenager fashion---he goes back out and does it again!
Only this time he actually does some good. I wonder how this is gonna backfire on him? Perhaps he just saved a drug dealer or rapist or something?

Re: Happy Kick-*** Wednesday
I'm surprised that the consensus is #2 was better than #1.
I thought #2 was so stupidly contrived and forced - there's nothing there. The characters and events do whatever Millar wants them to do. He wants him to lose - he loses. Wants him to win - he wins.
I thought it was bobbins. Part of me wonders if this series will wimp out and go straight from "origin" to "new world" and end with future Kick-*** being rescued by a bunch of superheroes he's 'inspired', and skip over how the world came out and the process. I dunno - I can see what's trying to be done here, but I think it's just too shallow. :?
But if people like it - I suppose that's what matters.

Re: Happy Kick-*** Wednesday
I got it. Much like the first two issues, Kick-*** gets his *** kicked. But some little girl with a samurai sword shows up, saves his *** from getting kicked, and cuts some thugs up like pepperoni. A couple of funny moments early on. I liked it better than last issue, but this series is definitly over rated so far.

I agree that it's overrated. It's not bad, but it thinks it's far more intelligent and original and 'honest' than it actually is.

Kick-A$$
In a way an Ultimate-ization of superheroes (a realistic vision of what that would be in our world, and who it would be)I am really enjoying Millar and Romita JRs Kick-A$$! it is a really Kick-A$$ mini-series! The dialogue is sharp and witty, you know what's coming but at the same time you are on the edge of your seat, guessing, praying, hoping it won't. And of course, the art is in-your-face fantastic, dynamic, raw and edgy, this is a really cool look at real world super-heroes. Anyone else reading? For those who aren't reading ch-ch-check it out, you won't be sorry. Issues 1-3 are available, pick 'em up Wednesday when new comics come out!

Lying in the Gutters:
This is a panel from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's "Kick ***" #4. It's quite clearly a reference to his other Marvel series "1985". Along with "Wolverine" and "Fantastic Four" there will be considerable crossovers between the series - much more than this panel indicates, all dovetailing into each other.
When Mark's wife saw this panel, however, she told Mark it was shameless...

Kick-*** movie news, including two members of the cast.
Should be interesting. I like that Vaughn got the money himself.
